Get computername and rename a file based upon the result-CodePudding

I'd like to run a Power shell script on start up that will query the local hostname and rename a local file by inserting the result.

For example, get hostname using something like:

$(Get-WmiObject Win32_Computersystem).name

..and insert the result into a file named and located as below,

C:\output\file-from-`Insert hostname`.txt

Its using the result of the Get-WmiObject to rename the existing file that I'm stuck with.

Any help would be great.

:-)

This should do the trick.

Rename-Item -Path "C:\output\file-from-Insert hostname.txt" -NewName "C:\output\file-from-$($env:COMPUTERNAME).txt"
